Mitt Romney ripped into Donald Trump today, calling his candidacy a case of "evil trumping good.” "A person so untrustworthy and dishonest as Hillary Clinton must not become president. Of course, a Trump nomination enables her victory," Romney said this morning in an address to the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah. And that was the tip of the iceberg in a scathing speech the former GOP presidential nominee gave of his party’s 2016 campaign front-runner. "Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University," Romney said. "He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat." Trump Responds to Romney's Attack Trump Says GOP Has 'Nobody Like Trump' "The audio and video of the infamous Tapper-Trump exchange on the Ku Klux Klan will play a hundred thousand times on cable and who knows how many million times on social media" Romney said referring to the endorsement trump received from David Duke. A businessman himself Romney went after Trump's economic policies and failed business ventures. "But wait, you say, isn't he a huge business success that knows what he's talking about? No he isn't. His bankruptcies have crushed small businesses and the men and women who worked for them. He inherited his business, he didn't create it," Romney said to applause from the audience, adding later. "A business genius he is not." "Now not every policy Donald Trump has floated is bad," Romney said. "He wants to repeal and replace Obamacare. He wants to bring jobs home from China and Japan. But his prescriptions to do these things are flimsy at best." Romney egged on Trump: "Watch how he responds to my speech today. Will he talk about our policy differences or will he attack me with every imaginable low road insult? This may tell you what you need to know about his temperament, his stability, and his suitability to be president." Romney also argued that the New York real estate developer will lose to "untrustworthy and dishonest" former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she is the Democratic nominee.
